visit magical Meredith!

[aesc]

My parents have lived in New Hampshire for a while now, and I have only now finally achieved the perfection of the union between being in a particular place and having my camera at the same time. (And by "having my camera" I mean "having the camera and all requisite parts, including batteries and memory stick.")

The fact that my parents live near a town called Meredith fills me with untold, unreasonable glee and satisfaction. Likewise, there is a small seaplane-friendly airstrip (and Laconia Airport) nearby, which gives wagoneer!John the opportunity to make stupid remarks about flying into Meredith and send pictures of various Meredith-related signs to Rodney by his cell phone.






Meredith sits on the southwesterly shore of Lake Winnepesaukee, which is a gigantic lake that, as I discovered, takes forever to drive around. It, along with Laconia and some other regional details, have been transported west a bit, to the White Mountains, for hockey boys, should it ever be finished.

I just... Meredith!

The Magic of Meredith! Hee. My sister's name is Meredith :D That's just adorable.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

:D It is a nice little town. Not magical, maybe, but nice! :D

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

Can we subscribe somewhere to experience the magic of Meredith? *signs UP!*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

John gets to experience the magic of Meredith every day.

[anatsuno.livejournal.com]

I know. I am so jealous!

[kashmir1.livejournal.com]

'Experience the Magic of Meredith'!

*sporfles*

(eeee! hockey boys!!)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

John would have way too much fun with the Magic of Meredith :D

(eeee! hockey boys!!)

Fingers crossed!

*gives you an extra bit of Grant to cheer you up!*

I live a few blocks away from Ingram Street. Which, every morning, makes me smile.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

That would make me smile too :D

[clear-as-blood.livejournal.com]

:D John would just have way too much fun with that.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Oh, you know he would!

"Meredith, the sign says 'Meredith' three times. Meredith, Meredith, Meredith."

"SHUT UP!"

[perspi.livejournal.com]

Oh, that is just...*sporfles*

[aesc.livejournal.com]

It makes me inordinately happy :D :D

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

Ehehehe. John would so get a kick out of this. He'd probably take pictures of himself standing in some narrow alley and saying that, yup, that's him, right where Meredith's tightest.

[perspi.livejournal.com]

OH GOD. *dies laughing*

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

I wanted to make a comment first about basements or wine cellars and exploring Meredith's deepest recesses, but then I thought, nah. ;)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Oddly, there is a small wine cellarish place just up the road and to the left of the sign :D It has good wine, too!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

*snorts ginger ale across keyboard*

[lavvyan.livejournal.com]

:D

My work here is done.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

And it was done very well! :D

[dogeared.livejournal.com]

Ha, you KNOW there's a crappy cell phone picture deluge! Poor Rodney. :D

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Ohhhh, I am sure there is revenge later on :D

[lilithilien.livejournal.com]

I love the repetition in that sign ... just so there's absolutely no doubt where you are. I'm a bit disappointed that the petunias don't spell out M-E-R-E-D-I-T-H tho. Seems like a lost opportunity.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

I love the repetition in that sign ... just so there's absolutely no doubt where you are.

Heh heh, I know! Just in case you couldn't distinguish it from Weirs Beach, which is just down the road :D (But is also, somewhat inappropriately, really touristy and tacky.)

[ruggerdavey.livejournal.com]

Why have I never thought of that connection? Even on seeing the sign in your post, my first thought was "oh, yum! Hart's Turkey Farm is in Meredith!" *ponders* John would really love Hart's Turkey Farm, I think. Actually, Rodney would probably love them too - good food, huge portions. Mmmm...now I'm kind of hungry.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

"oh, yum! Hart's Turkey Farm is in Meredith!"

Heee, ever since I wrote the boys as turkeys (*is weird*) I find I can't eat there. I know, of course, that they have food other than turkey, but it's the principle of the thing :D

But yes, I think Rodney would definitely approve of it :D :D

[ruggerdavey.livejournal.com]

I can see your dilemma. But, yeah, the boys would totally eat there.

[newkidfan.livejournal.com]

I just love it when rl and fandom mix. It makes everything more colorful! :)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

It never gets old! I have to drive through Meredith on my way to my parents' and I always smile, seeing the signs welcoming me to Meredith and inviting me to experience its magic ;)

And I can't wait until you post your pictures from your trip!!!!

[newkidfan.livejournal.com]

Speaking of trip, I may have sent you a little something and I'm suddenly worried you may have moved since you gave me your address...

And I will post the pics asap. :)

[aesc.livejournal.com]

*snorfle!* The most recent address is here (http://aesc.livejournal.com/299517.html); I changed it temporarily for while I'm away, but anything sent there will be forwarded to NH ♥ ♥

And I will post the pics asap. :)

Yayyyyyy!!!! *cavorts*

[kimberweeme.livejournal.com]

I nearly choked on my cherry limeade when I noticed that the sign says "Experience the Magic of Meredith." HA! That's classic.

Poor Rodney would never, ever live it down. Maybe he could turn it to his advantage? Threaten to withhold the "magic" for a few days?

Maybe he could turn it to his advantage? Threaten to withhold the "magic" for a few days?

Ohhhh, I definitely think so!!

[lilyfarfalla.livejournal.com]

I can't stop giggling to myself. Experience the Magic!

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Hee!! I know John would be allll over that :D (And Rodney would get tired of it very quickly and say, "If you want to experience the magic of Meredith ever again, you'll quit while you're ahead.")

[toft-froggy.livejournal.com]

Hee! John would turn to Rodney very seriously and say, big-eyed, "Turn off here. I want to experience the magic of Meredith."

[aesc.livejournal.com]

And Rodney would be torn between turning off because, hey, there might be hot roadside sex, or at least making out, but on the other hand he'd really like to inform John of how very not funny or attractive that sort of remark is.

Possibly he could do both.

[ainsley.livejournal.com]

You are a funny lady, and I adore your twisted humor.

[aesc.livejournal.com]

:"> :"> Thank you! I am sure, however, that Rodney doesn't appreciate it ;)

Oh my god! Want so badly ::grabby hands::

[aesc.livejournal.com]

Heh heh, Rodney would be driven to incoherence over the number of photos John sends him :D
